Attorney-General of India K.K. Venugopal on December 7 submitted before the Supreme Court that the government will issue a notification on December 8 extending the deadline for mandatory Aadhaar linking from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018.
This extension will include 139 services for which the deadline for linking is currently December 31, 2017. The extension, would in all likelihood, include the mandatory linkage of Aadhaar with bank accounts. So far, private citizens run the risk of being locked out of access to their own bank accounts if they do not link them with Aadhaar by December 31.
Mr. Venugopal apprised the Bench led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra that the extension however does not include linking of mobile phones with Aadhaar. The deadline for this is February 6, 2018.
